Covid: Police cancel fine for couple visiting care home

Decima Minhinnick, pictured at her 90th birthday party, lives in a care home and has vascular dementia

A couple who were fined £60 for driving 20 minutes to see a relative in a care home have had their fine cancelled by police. Carol and David Richards from Bridgend travelled seven miles to Porthcawl to visit her mother Decima Minhinnick, 94.On Wednesday, South Wales Police said it had "since been reviewed and the notice has been rescinded".In a statement, it added: "Wales remains at alert level four and South Wales Police will continue to patrol our communities to ensure the legislation, which has been enacted to slow the spread of coronavirus, is complied with".

What about the virus droplets they breath out on the window of the care home and in the surrounds of the place . Getting in and out of the car. Etc. Send them a new fine smug fools.

Good! Fed up with these petty fines for genuine individuals like this poor couple. Imagine the stress and upset after visiting 94 year old mother, they are not criminals.. They were allowed to visit and prearranged. If anything care home could be fined, but a caution is enough

A bit of common sense from the police would work wonders... for them and for the public.

The 'expect more fines' lasted a long time. Managed to last a day before loosing faith. May be; ask for prove of visit and why; seems the right response; fined until prove confirmed necessary visit. So than if you have a valid reason its OK. We are in a pandemic crisis.

I would hope the Officer concerned has undergone 'retraining'.

Shame on police for not taking peoples word anymore

Apparently they have been giving new laws due to covid

Sone police really are cretins.

I’m pleased to see that despite not having enough resources to check non-mask wearers in supermarkets, the police have sufficient time to hunt down people visiting aged relatives in a care home! Well done the Boys in Blue!

Jackass police.

Lazy policing

Don’t worry, when Covid is over and life gets back to normal, the police will get back to not being able to catch a fucking cold!!

Unfortunately if you watch many of the Police Force programmes now on TV you realise, Dazza, Wrighty and the heavily tattooed Mezza are bigger ****heads than the people they are stopping!

They need to read the rules again
